Legal Encounter One The biggest liability issue that NewCorp will face with Pat is over a claim of wrongful discharge. This will be based on NewCorp’s personnel manual that states that employees will be placed on a corrective action plan to improve performance before termination. No correction plan was given to Pat by his boss before being discharged. Pat will also be able to argue that in receiving the NewCorp personnel manual, an implied contract of employment was agreed upon based on the policies contained in the manual. The fact that he was discharged shortly after the school board meeting in which he shared views contrary to those held by some of our senior management should have no basis on any legal proceedings.

In a few decades, there were a several pioneers who have researched and invented some different methods to measure this distance.

This essay assignment firstly aims to evaluate those methods critically to compare some methods of the cultural measurement and also figures out the strengths and weakness as the influences which they have.

Social Implications of Decriminalizing Ganja ‘That’s it! I’ve had enough of all this ganja smoke. It’s about time I teach him a lesson!’ Margret spoke angrily about Johnny who no longer felt the need to hide and smoke since the recent decriminalizing of ganja. In the Merriam Webster dictionary the act of decriminalizing ganja is defined as ‘removing or reducing the criminal classification or status of; especially : to repeal a strict ban on while keeping under some form of regulation.’ The Dangerous Drugs (Amendment) Act 2015 recently made the possession, use and cultivation of small amounts of ganja a non-criminal offence for the general public, leaving many to freely use regulated amounts of ganja plants and products without fear of incarceration or penalization. Many argue that this is a bold step for society and would be of great social benefit.
